The firmware feature check introduced for multi-scheduled scan is also
failing for bcm4345 devices resulting in a firmware crash.
The reason for this crash has not yet been root cause so this patch avoids
the feature check for those device as a short-term fix.

Fixes: 9fe929aaace6 ("brcmfmac: add firmware feature detection for gscan feature")

v2: Fixed tabs being replaced by spaces in patch submission
Tested on MINIX NEO Z83-4 and MINIX NEO Z83-4 Pro devices.

Thanks. This is one of the few devices that I actually do not have on my 
desk.

Thanks. This patch of course is required to fix the '4.13 REGRESSION'
for brcm4345 sdio wifi with 4.13-rc1 through 4.13-rc7 as v4.12.10 is
the last working release. If you want me to test anything specific on
this device let me know.

I'll queue this for 4.14. And add a stable tag so that I goes to 4.13
stable releases:

Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v4.13

Hi Ian,

please don't send me email privately, instead always send the questions
to the list. You get better answers faster and I get less email :)

So if Greg applies a patch to one of stable his stable releases who
usually sends a private email to the patch author and anyone who has
signed off the patch. So you should get an email about that. You can
also follow the stable trees mentioned here:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html

But good that you brought up this as I almost missed your patch from
this week's pull request for 4.14. I'll apply it shortly.
